#include <signal.h>
void (*signal(int
sig, void
(*func )(int)))(int);
Use of this function is unspecified in a multi-threaded process.
The
signal() function chooses one of three ways in which receipt of the
signal number
sig is to be subsequently handled. If the value of
func is SIG_DFL, default handling for that signal shall occur. If the
value of
func is SIG_IGN, the signal shall be ignored. Otherwise, the
application shall ensure that
func points to a function to be called
when that signal occurs. An invocation of such a function because of a signal,
or (recursively) of any further functions called by that invocation (other
than functions in the standard library), is called a "signal
handler".
When a signal occurs, and
func points to a function, it is
implementation-defined whether the equivalent of a:
is executed or the implementation prevents some implementation-defined set of
signals (at least including
sig) from occurring until the current
signal handling has completed. (If the value of
sig is SIGILL, the
implementation may alternatively define that no action is taken.) Next the
equivalent of:
is executed. If and when the function returns, if the value of
sig was
SIGFPE, SIGILL, or SIGSEGV or any other implementation-defined value
corresponding to a computational exception, the behavior is undefined.
Otherwise, the program shall resume execution at the point it was interrupted.
If the signal occurs as the result of calling the
abort(),
raise(),
kill(),
pthread_kill(), or
sigqueue()
function, the signal handler shall not call the
raise() function.
If the signal occurs other than as the result of calling
abort(),
raise(),
kill(),
pthread_kill(), or
sigqueue(),
the behavior is undefined if the signal handler refers to any object
with static storage duration other than by assigning a value to an object
declared as volatile
sig_atomic_t, or if the signal handler calls any
function in the standard library other than one of the functions listed in
Signal Concepts . Furthermore, if such a call fails, the value of
errno is unspecified.
At program start-up, the equivalent of:
is executed for some signals, and the equivalent of:
is executed for all other signals (see
exec).
If the request can be honored,
signal() shall return the value of
func for the most recent call to
signal() for the specified
signal
sig. Otherwise, SIG_ERR shall be returned and a positive value
shall be stored in
errno.
The
signal() function shall fail if:
- EINVAL
- The sig argument is not a valid signal number or an
attempt is made to catch a signal that cannot be caught or ignore a signal
that cannot be ignored.
The
signal() function may fail if:
- EINVAL
- An attempt was made to set the action to SIG_DFL for a
signal that cannot be caught or ignored (or both).
The following sections are informative.
None.
The
sigaction() function provides a more comprehensive and reliable
mechanism for controlling signals; new applications should use
sigaction() rather than
signal().
None.
None.
